Sorry for the long post. I’m looking for outside opinions as I really don’t know what to do…
I’ve been at my work for about 7 years. I use to really love it but as the years past my team has changed and the work I am doing is no longer as interesting as it once was. Im pretty bored there now.
My work also previously left a bad taste in my mouth as they were really awful when I returned from maternity leave a few years ago.
I’ve very recently been promoted to the highest position I can reach there. The pay is decent (although I think they low balled me with the promotion) and I’m not under much pressure. I also get to work part time and have a lot of flexibility (I have 2 small kids).
I’ve been approached for a job with a smaller company. The same position at my current company but with a really good pay rise and I’ve been promised interesting work. I would also work with some of my old team.
This new company does have some red flags however - they seem very disorganised and have a fairly high staff turnover over. I would also be expected to work ‘harder’ than I am doing now.
I initially intended to stay for a bit and try to improve the position at my current place, but the above offer won’t stick around for long.
So WWYD? Stay in a comfortable boring job or jump to the riskier but potentially more fulfilling one?
